Admit it. The thought of the Steelers vs. the Cardinals in a Super Bowl excited you about as much as hearing “We’re not giving Christmas bonuses this year.” And for the first 3.25 quarters, the game pretty much lived up to our low expectations. But then came the last 7 minutes or so. Oh my!

Not only did my ?????? welcome wagon beer start to kick in but the Cardinals offense decided to make a grand appearance. The Cardinals defense pulled off a few convincing goal line stands. And though the refs were still doing their part to give the Steelers that competitive edge, both teams managed to keep the game tight. Oh what a wonderful end to an insane season!

Sure there will be pissed off Cardinals fans who say that fumble called on Kurt Warner in the final seconds of the game should have been reviewed. Sure there will be regular NFL viewers who say there were questionable calls throughout this game. Sure there will be the dude who missed most of the game because he went online to watch boobies after that GoDaddy.com commercial. But if you came into this game drunk like me, that Santonio Holmes catch washed away the stain of impropriety on Super Bowl 43. What a freakin’ catch!

Should we take a second to gloat about the fact that we predicted the point spread in our previous post? No you say? Just let it slide? Oh fine we won’t mention it. (Chicksinthehuddle.com predicted the Steelers by four!)

Anyways, the good news is that this wretched season is over. The Saints are undefeated and looking forward to making Super Bowl history of their own. Congrats Steelers…but there’s another black and gold team with big plans to bring that Lombardi trophy down South.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a date with Michael Phelps at 4:20…
